Is it OK to have a gastroscopy every six months? Why?

For gastroscopy, a large part of the population has questions, such as whether gastroscopy has damage and harm to the human body? Should middle-aged and elderly people have a gastroscopy during a physical examination? How to have regular gastroscopy after suffering from stomach disease?

So let's give you a detailed science popularization of the science such as gastroscopy and whether the gastroscopy is harmful to the human body.

1. Is gastroscopy harmful to the human body?

In fact, from a medical point of view, gastroscopy is not harmful to the human body, many people in the gastroscopy due to the fear of gastroscopy and can not effectively cooperate with the doctor during the examination, so that during and after the examination there will be more uncomfortable nausea and vomiting, and now with the development of science and technology, the diameter of the gastroscope is getting thinner and thinner, and the more effective it is to reduce the discomfort of the examinee.

2. How often should gastroscopy be done?

In fact, due to the differences of each person, the time of gastroscopy is also different, for healthy people without any stomach disease and without any symptoms, gastroscopy can generally be examined at the age of 45, and then rechecked every 3-5 years. For people with gastric diseases, such as gastric ulcers, atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia, patients should be re-examined every six months to 1 year, but if it is a mild gastric disease, such as superficial gastritis, erosive gastritis, bile reflux gastritis, etc., gastroscopy can be re-examined every 1-2 years.

To sum up, it is of course possible to do a gastroscopy every six months, because the gastroscopy has no substantial damage to one's body, but whether or not to have a gastroscopy every six months requires the guidance of the doctor and the patient's own clarity about the disease, because there are more patients with stomach disease, there will be excessive anxiety and mental tension in the psychological situation, so for this kind of stomach disease patients, they should first relax their minds and then deal with the disease.

It's not good, because doing gastroscopy is also very harmful to our body, and we can toss out sick if we don't get sick.

It's not good, because the radiation to the body is very large when doing gastroscopy, so it's okay to do it once a year.

How often should I do a gastroscopy? Does it hurt your stomach to do too much?

If you simply do a gastroscopy, the gastroscope is just stretched into the stomach to take a few photos, and it does not scratch the esophagus or blood vessels, which can be imagined as a plastic pipe gently rubbing over you, and it will not cause you any harm. Except for temporary discomfort in the pharynx after the procedure and a wound in the stomach if a biopsy is performed, there is almost no harm to the body. Of course, as an invasive test, there are still risks.

Especially when the gastroscope tube enters the throat, patients often feel nauseous, want to vomit, and often have a certain amount of pain. Some patients with a large reaction may vomit, which may cause damage to the mucous membrane. When the doctor is making a diagnosis, do not swallow, but inhale through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth so that the examination can be completed smoothly.

Some people feel bloated and nauseous as air travels through the tube into their stomach.

Gastroscopy is the most direct and more accurate examination method, which has great advantages for the rapid diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal diseases, and it does not have any harm to the body, which is currently a very widely used examination method in clinical practice, and it is forbidden to eat and water within 8 hours before the examination. No food or drink. No smoking.

Eat foods that are easy to digest with less residue for dinner the day before. Drinking water or drinking beverages can cause changes in the gastric mucosa, affecting the diagnosis.

If it is really uncomfortable and unbearable, you can choose **gastroscopy, the anesthesiologist will give you some medicine, and soon fall asleep. Generally speaking, once a year is relatively good, but it must also be noted that if it is indeed due to the state of illness, then at this time, it should be done once every three months or even once a month. It cannot be said that doing gastroscopy is really harmful to the body, but to see whether the gastroscopy must be done, where to focus on, there may be many examinations and ** will have the "secondary" aspect, but it also depends on the "main" aspect.

If certain stomach diseases are already present, it is best to know the changes in the stomach disease through gastroscopy. In addition, how often to do gastroscopy needs to be understood, and it is not always better to do it more often. Generally, people with certain chronic stomach diseases can have a gastroscopy checked once a year, which can be a good screening for gastric cancer, so as to avoid some gastric diseases becoming cancerous and affecting health.

Therefore, if you want to go through a gastroscopy to know if there are lesions in your body, you should check it once a year.

Gastroscopy is currently the most reliable method for diagnosing esophageal, gastric, and duodenal diseases. Take care to quit smoking before the test, and have an empty stomach for at least 6 hours. Within half an hour of the gastroscopy, the pharyngeal anesthetic was still working, so I could not drink water or eat.

In addition, there may be discomfort in the pharynx, and grass coral lozenges can be taken. According to one's own condition, gastroscopy can generally be done at an interval of 6-12 months, and gastroscopy is not harmful to the body.

If there is no stomach ulcer or tumor, it is not necessary to check the gastroscopy too frequently, and the specific time should be decided by the treating doctor.

Generally, there is no harm in doing gastroscopy, but if the operation is not done properly, there may be symptoms such as gastric mucosal rupture or gastric bleeding. The number of gastroscopies is determined according to individual lesions, and it is generally done once every two or three years.

As long as gastroscopy is not performed frequently, it will generally not cause health effects. The gastroscopy is performed once a year, and the physical damage is not obvious, and you may feel uncomfortable during the gastroscopy because the medical device needs to pass through the esophagus and enter the stomach. During the operation, many people will feel nausea, nausea, and even slight local pain, these are common reactions, and there is no need to worry too much.

Because the gastroscope is going from the throat to the stomach, there may be some abrasions on the mucous membranes. If not done properly, gastric perforation can also occur. If you don't have any big problems with your stomach, it's best not to have a gastroscopy.

If you want to know what's going on in your stomach, you can do it every two or three years. But don't do a gastroscopy if you're fine.

Gastroscopy will damage the mucosa of the upper gastrointestinal tract, so be sure to cooperate with medical staff. There will also be repeated nausea and vomiting, sore throat. Routine check-ups are done once a year, and the rest are arranged by the doctor.

For people with a family history of gastric cancer, intestinal polyps, chronic gastritis, and gastric mucosal lesions, gastroscopy should be done every six months; For some superficial gastritis, the condition is relatively stable, there are no special changes, and it can be checked once a year.

However, for patients with gastric cancer, we must take a positive attitude, and we should have a routine gastroscopy review at 1 month, 6 months and 9 months, the most critical time points after these three operations. Patients with precancerous lesions such as intestinal metaplasia should be re-examined every 3 to 6 months. Therefore, how often you need to do gastroscopy must be decided according to your own situation.

2: Chronic atrophic gastritis, once diagnosed by gastroscopy pathology, need to be re-examined once a year, if accompanied by atypical hyperplasia, especially moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia, need to be re-examined once every six months. In particular, it is necessary to remind that a biopsy should be taken at the same lesion site to determine the extent of the lesion and provide a basis for the next step.
